[Game ended, contract completed.]
Qi Jue woke up in his apartment. After three games ended, the black ring on his finger shattered.
He survived.
He sat back on the sofa. The injuries he suffered in the game had fully recovered, but his body was still very stiff and he dared not move around.
After a pause, Qi Jue reached for his phone on the table, clicked on the Paradise Forum, searched for keywords, and found the previous post.
He read it carefully again, and finally couldn't help but thumbed up the post: [I met her. The third time I entered the Black Ring world, the NPC killed all the players, leaving only me. I thought I was dead, but she suddenly appeared and called the NPC away. I got out alive.]
This post was laughed at for a long time, and some players took screenshots and posted them to the high-level player group to mock it for a long time. Unexpectedly, it was suddenly pushed to the front page again.
Someone clicked in to see, but it turned out to be a feedback reply, which really made many people curious.
[Someone is still "digging up graves", could this post be true?]
[They repeatedly called away NPCs, are they really just players? Could it be a game administrator or something?]
[This game still has administrators? No way!]
...
[Oh my god, go check next door! Maybe an administrator really appeared!!!]
[What?]
...
Qi Jue looked through the replies below, and his mentality was probably similar to that of the original poster.
Because he had already left the game, he was calm in the face of doubts, and he was deeply grateful.
He was also about to check what the next post was, when a phone call suddenly interrupted him.
"Hello, Zhuang Liang."
"Did you just come out?" Zhuang Liang had already returned to his residence. Seeing the reply on the forum, he guessed that it was Qi Jue.
"Yeah. I met Lu Yao." Qi Jue confessed.
Zhuang Liang was not surprised. "I know."
Qi Jue was puzzled: "How do you know?"
Zhuang Liang told him about accompanying Xiao Zhiwei to meet Lu Yao, and his tone was deeply horrified: "Her time has increased again."
Qi Jue was relieved: "So, if it wasn't for that boss Xiao, she wouldn't choose to enter the game at that time."
Zhuang Liang: "...You are right."
Qi Jue was still a little concerned about the post just mentioned on the forum. While talking to Zhuang Liang, he logged in with his tablet.
At a glance, he saw two posts floating on the homepage, one was the post he just pushed over, and the other was a hanging post.
"Zhuang Liang, go to the forum quickly, someone surnamed Xiao is swindling Lu Yao."
Zhuang Liang: !!!
In the Paradise Forum, there was a post on the front page about swindling Lu Yao, and in the post was a screenshot of Lu Yao's offer for selling a black ring. Lu Yao was selling the black ring at a high price, more than ten times the premium, and the returned product was not the same as the original. After being exposed, he regretted it on the spot and fled into the game with the black ring.
When this post was just published, the replies in the first few floors were all cursing the seller.
After a while, a reply appeared on the 21st floor: [I bought a ring from her, the ring was brand new, and the seller was also very straightforward, not what you said. Considering the ten-fold premium of the original poster, I can only guess that the original poster wants to buy a ring but doesn't want to spend more money. He wanted to take advantage but didn't get it, so he came to the forum to post a message to criticize others. A kind reminder: the forum in Paradise is different from the outside world. Be careful not to shoot yourself in the foot.
Shen Pingjin finished his meeting at noon and browsed the forum during his break. He saw this post and thought it was a bit brainless, so he said a few words.
He was the buyer of a black ring from Lu Yao and was very satisfied with the transaction. In addition, Zhuang Liang's attitude towards Lu Yao also made him pay attention to Lu Yao in private.
When Xiao Zhiwei saw this reply, he immediately bit it like a mad dog and scolded many posters in succession.
Recently, the number of black rings has decreased. Many people have noticed Lu Yao's posts about selling black rings. Some people have also sent private messages. Those who wanted to negotiate the price did not receive any follow-up replies. Seeing this post, they felt like they had found an outlet to vent their anger and started to curse.
However, only two minutes later, an unknown park administrator suddenly appeared and replied directly to Xiao Zhiwei's post.
[Administrator 01: After verification, player 20935183 did not abide by the transaction rules. During the transaction, he used verbal threats and force to force the seller to sell the black ring at a low price. The transaction broke down, and he incited public opinion to attack the seller in the player exchange forum, seriously disrupting the order of the forum. Hereby, the gray ring is taken back and the account is banned. ]
Xiao Zhiwei never expected that the administrator who had never appeared would reply to him.
Things took a sudden turn for the worse. Not only did he fail to avenge Lu Yao, but his account was also blocked.
He panicked when he found that he could no longer reply to posts and the gray ring he had just used turned into a handful of sand.
His account was blocked and he could no longer enter Paradise.
His death was approaching.
Xiao Zhiwei suddenly remembered Zhuang Liang's attitude towards Lu Yao and was filled with fear.
It turned out that the young man he thought was easy to bully was really someone not to be messed with.
The original poster sent it, but the post really went viral.
A towering building is built from the ground up, and there are all kinds of chats.
[Oh my god! There actually is an administrator, take a photo! ! ! ]
[Awesome! The poster above was right, the original poster just picked up a rock and dropped it on his own foot! 】
【I'm curious about what specific threats were used, and how the seller contacted the administrator? 】
【The ring was taken back and the account was banned. Does this mean I can never enter the park again? New players are trembling with fear! 】
【Am I the only one who is curious about the identity of the seller? 】
【I have a bold guess. If you combine the first and second hot posts, you will find a very scary coincidence. 】
A few minutes later, someone came back from the second hot post and replied frantically.
【Oh my god! The original poster wrote in the post that the seller hid in the game and never came out. There was a reply below the second hot post, saying that he met a female player who could summon NPCs in the game. There was a strange overlap in the posting time. Could this female player and the seller be the same person? 】
【Not only that, look at the content shared by the second post again, this player is not the first time to use NPC. If this is true, the player is not actually the administrator, right? 】
【Good guy! Let me diverge a little, the administrator pretended to be a player to sell the ring, and was coerced by the player, and the player also turned around and stalked the administrator in the forum, and was severely punished by the account ban. Thinking carefully, how is it that it is horrifying and a little bit satisfying? 】
【Both players successfully survived the third Black Ring World because of meeting her. No other ideas, I want to hug this golden thigh! Does anyone know her? Make a sound of wanting to hook up! 】
【Want to hook up 1】
【Want to hook up 2】
…
【Want to hook up 10010】
…
Qi Jue and Zhuang Liang followed all the posts and fell into silence.
After a long time, Zhuang Liang asked: "Do you think it's too late for me to hug her now?"
Qi Jue: "That's not necessary."
Zhuang Liang: "I only have one Black Ring left. You almost couldn't get out, how can I survive the third time?"
Zhuang Liang has money. Before getting the Black Ring, he used many White Rings and Gray Rings. He is experienced and smart, and he quickly mastered the gameplay of the game.
But the Black Ring World is too high-level, completely different from the White Ring and Gray Ring.
He was also psychologically traumatized by being killed twice before, and he had no intention of entering for the third time.
At this time, a passerby and Qi Jue survived because of meeting Lu Yao, and he happened to know Lu Yao, how could he not be moved?
Qi Jue: "...According to my observation, she hates others to bother her."
Zhuang Liang: "..."
There were many opportunities to curry favor with her, but he did not cherish them, and now he regrets it.
Another world, Braibis City.
The road is wide and flat, with shops on both sides, and cars and horses flowing like water.
Knights in shining armor, magicians in pointed hats, adventurers carrying huge weapons, fur-covered beasts setting up stalls on the roadside, and sturdy dwarves soliciting customers on the roadside can be seen everywhere... This is a lively and prosperous city.
In the crowd, a black-haired boy with a high ponytail held a stack of colorful flyers and distributed them to passers-by in front of him expressionlessly.
If the pedestrian hesitated and was unwilling to take the flyer, he would immediately receive the boy's oppressive glare, and his back would feel cold, and he would subconsciously take the flyer.
Some people wanted to throw it away after taking it, but they took a glance and found that the flyer was very interesting.
There were three nail art animations lined up at the beginning of the page. Even passers-by who had no interest in nail dyeing could not help but take a second look at such a strange flyer.
The first one is Si Jin's polar crystal star map nail art. This nail art is simple in design, and the polar crystal embedded on the finger is precious. Anyone who knows a little about magic will be attracted by it at a glance. The
second one is Mrs. Sid's rose branch nail art, which focuses on the texture of oil painting and the elegant beauty of flowers falling on the fingertips, which will definitely attract the attention of the young lady.
The last one is the high priest's ink-and-wash style manicure. The design and dynamic characteristics of this nail art are eye-catching enough. Carlos's name is specially marked in small words below, which will definitely attract Carlos's fans.
Every nail art sample that has been preserved has been informed to the customers in advance. Lu Yao also confessed that he would use it for some publicity, and most customers are happy to do so.
In fact, there are many samples to choose from in the store, and Harold's jewelry nail art is also dazzling.
Lu Yao did not print it on the flyer, because he had already decided to let Harold go out to hand out flyers, and someone would definitely notice his fingers.
And these three gorgeous and eye-catching nail art are just a gimmick to attract the attention of passers-by, the focus is on the content below the picture.
This magical nail dyeing shop that has received nobles, great magicians, and high priests has recently held a super value event of 10% off to experience the fairy nail dyeing - the original price of 188 copper coins for pure color nail dyeing and single color smudge dyeing only needs 18 copper coins to experience it once, and the original price of 256 copper coins for seal dyeing can be experienced once for only 25 copper coins. The event
lasts for two days, and no one will be accepted after the time is up.
At the end of the flyer, the name, address, transmission array coordinates and event time of the nail dyeing shop are written.
Such a flyer may not be good enough in the modern world, but it is fresh enough in Alexandria, especially the first three high-definition dynamic pictures. When the fingertips shake, the gems sparkle, depicting the delicate and lively beauty and the noble status of the guests. Every point will touch the nerves of some people.
The activities below will directly stimulate the willing guests. Just spend the money of a lunch to get an experience similar to that of the nobles or even the high priest. Why not?
Some people who were reluctant to take the flyer at first and chose to avoid it saw other people on the roadside looking at it, and couldn't help but turn back to find Harold to take it out of curiosity.
The black-haired boy handed over a flyer with a stinky face. The gems on his nails were dazzled by the sun, which aroused people's curiosity.
In addition to the casual pedestrians on the street, these flyers also attracted many students from the magic academy, street vendors, and even some sub-human races.
People who have seen the flyers will more or less be curious. Even if they are not interested, they will take them home to show their wives, daughters or friends. Who knows, there may be people who are attracted to them.
Lu Yao’s goal is actually very simple, to attract 35 guests who are willing to participate in the 10% off experience activity within two days.
She is used to making the most prudent plans for everything. At this time, she did not realize that the fishing net was cast too wide this time, resulting in too many customers and she could not accept all the orders.
On the side of the road, a group of students in magic academy uniforms surrounded Harold. They took the flyers and were reluctant to leave, wanting to see his manicure.
The boy with a high ponytail was extremely impatient, with his brows deeply furrowed, but he stretched out his hand honestly and shook it reluctantly. The gems piled on his fingertips reflected colorful rainbow light, causing a group of students to scream in envy.
This is too beautiful!
They are all genuine rare gems, and there is also the breath of magic array on the nail surface. It's so interesting!
After the students saw Harold's manicure, they looked down at the flyer. The first extreme crystal manicure made people palpitate directly, the second rose oil painting manicure was heart-warming, and the high priest's manicure made them hold their chests and scream. It was amazing!
Some students had heard of the nail salon in Emerald Town a long time ago, but a pair of manicures cost hundreds of copper coins, and not every student had the financial ability to do so.
This 10% discount event was very tempting. A dozen or twenty copper coins were enough to get some. Many students were ready to invite their friends to experience it.
At the intersection not far from where Harold was handing out flyers, a gorgeous red carriage stopped at some point.
Helena opened the curtain and looked in Harold's direction, with a look of doubt and uncertainty.
The posture and appearance of the boy with a high ponytail were exactly the same as Drexel a hundred years ago.
Drex is dead. Could this young man be the one that Jinklai has been looking for?
If it is really him, then Zelan is useless.
There is a bone bracelet hidden under Helena's wrist, which emits an unknown black mist when touched.
She reached under her sleeve and gently stroked the bone bracelet. A strange light flashed in her eyes. She lifted the curtain, got off the carriage holding up the hem of her skirt, and slowly walked towards Harold.
Emerald Town, Luyao Nail Salon.
After seeing off the last customer who had an appointment today, Luyao turned and looked at the three apprentices, "You guys get ready, I'll be back soon."
Mumu, Tina and Eugenia knew that the apprentice assessment would begin when Luyao came back, and they were a little nervous.
They were practicing in the afternoon, and Lu Yao was serving customers nearby. They could clearly feel the gap between themselves and the shop owner.
About ten minutes later, Lu Yao came back from outside, followed by three ladies. The one wearing a flowered headscarf was Mrs. Krimer from the fruit shop next door, the one wearing a long turmeric floral dress was Mrs. Grote from the bakery opposite, and the last one with a confused look was Mrs. Brown from the West Street tailor shop.
Eugenia immediately stood up and walked towards Mrs. Brown in surprise, "Mom, why are you here?"
Mrs. Brown looked a little embarrassed, secretly glanced at Lu Yao, and whispered, "The owner asked us to come over to help a little."
Eugenia didn't understand what Lu Yao meant, looked at Lu Yao, and hesitated to speak.
Lu Yao asked the three ladies to sit down and explained briefly: "Don't be nervous, these three ladies are your guests today. You need to listen to their requests and do a manicure for them later." Lu Yao
had just told the three neighbors outside about the content of the help, that is, to act as guests of this assessment and experience the nail salon's nail dyeing service.
In fact, the residents of Emerald Town have always been curious about the nail salon. Mrs. Krimer and Mrs. Grote, as neighbors, pay attention to it every day, but due to the rumors of dragons and monsters, they have never dared to enter the store.
This time, when she heard that she could experience it for free, she agreed without hesitation.
Mrs. Brown was reluctant to come at first, but she wanted to see the working environment of Eugenia, so she agreed after consideration.
The three apprentices originally thought that the test was to be done on the nails, but suddenly it turned into receiving guests, and the difficulty of the test increased a lot.
Lu Yao poured water for the three ladies, and seeing that the apprentices were about to retreat, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "What? Are you all scared?"
Tina was a dragon, and she was the first to be unable to bear such provocative words.
She took the lead and sat in front of Mrs. Grote, imitating the way Lu Yao usually received guests, and put out three nail art samples, trying to smile: "Hello, my name is Tina, and I am your nail artist today. Which of these three styles do you like?"
Mrs. Grote's slightly nervous mood relaxed. It turned out to be dyeing nails, and the style was particularly beautiful.
She looked around and chose the stamp nail art.
Mumu was used to keeping the form of a slime in the store. He saw the fear in Mrs. Brown's eyes, skipped her, and sat in front of Mrs. Krimer.
Mrs. Crimson opened the shop in the morning and often saw Mumu waiting at the door of the nail salon. She was a little suspicious of Slime's nail dyeing skills, but she didn't refuse.
Eugenia sat in front of Mrs. Brown.
The apprentice assessment began.
